After You Dive with Spare Air

  • Remove Spare Air from Holster.
  • With pressure in the Spare Air, rinse thoroughly or soak in fresh water for 30 minutes.
  • Shake excess water from the system and dry thoroughly.
  • Spare Air should be stored full or with some positive pressure to prevent contaminants from entering the cylinder. Store in a clean, dry environment with optimum temperatures of 50-75ºF for best product performance. Avoid direct sunlight, automobile trunks or other areas subject to temperature extremes. Industry guidelines recommend replacing air in cylinders annually.
